We were very happy to have Ron and Rhonda Lemler drop in Friday afternoon and spend the night. They are “out and about” looking at equipment to replace that what was lost in the fire. We had a tour of the mill I work at, and hope they can find what they need soon, Safe travels.

Now that was a very cool video Don.

Way too cool, Don thanks for the video. Some things do not need to be changed. Man made tools, man made bowls. No computers, just the MAN and his hands and his talent craftsmanship.

Really enjoyed that video, Don. The most eye opening for me was, they machine one bowl and then another and another, off the same set up. I see some OSHA problems with that square block of wood spinning at such high speed, but I’m sure it isn’t what it appeared. Soooo my big questions is— do they make all of those wooden shoes that tourist buy when there?? TomC

No, not there. There are three other places around town that do that though.

I wish one of you guys that are good at finding youtube videos would find one on baby “play block” manufacturing!! I have tried a time or two with no success but that would have to be the ideal way to process fuel! Herb

Michael, it’s called snow. An inherited punishment.  
My ancestors didn’t realise the consequences of walking towards the north pole. To late to do anything about it now. I would get too far from my wood source 😄

Kristijan! I didn’t know you used winter tires. To me you live close to the equator. I put mine on only a couple of weeks ago.

Yes they are obligatory from 15.11 to 15.3. But us “highlanders” like to put them on a lit sooner, or never put them off at all.

Ha, equator. Sure. I think we have quite similar climates actualy, just the timeframe is changed.
